If you’re going to name a beer Molotov Cocktail, it’s going to have to pack a punch. This, with understatement, does. It is ludicrously strong imperial IPA, and tastes every bit of its 13%, but not at the expense of a massive hit of hoppiness with honeycomb sweetness. Evil Twin describes it as one of the craziest beers they make, and it will, as they say, knock your tongue off.

I find Evil Twin a decent brewery most of the time. The write up for this beer did say it was pretty intense and they didn't lie. A very bold flavour like a sack of hops wrapped around a brick... but I was warned. Good for those that like a robust drink

As others have said this beer packs a mean punch but its really flavoursome as well which balances it nicely. Not a beer I'd have every time but definitely one I wouldn't turn down.

Super bitter with quite a full body. Tastes like a very intense West Coast IPA, as you might expect, but is a bit too much for my tastes.

This is an amazing strong pale ale hits you with bitterness followed by a treacle like sweetness , just buy it.

A lot of my friends raved about this beer giving it 4 and 5 stars but I thought it tasted like cough medicine.

Fantastic!

Amazing strong beer: quite the hoptastic experience. Think mine wasn’t as fresh as it could have been, but the depth and the flavour and the sheer warming alcohol embrace shone through even so. Drank this on Xmas eve while reading some MR James. Perfect.

love it

Review byPIMPYC 14/11/2017

Full of flavour and packs a punch , a bit like treacle but not to dark or strong tasting , for the strength of this one i could easily drink more not like other hi volume beers on the market that are usually to bitter , i can truly understand why this is called Molotov as it just explodes with flavour in your mouth

Highly recommended

Vicious!

Strong, full of flavour and thick. Great to finish an evening with - a syrupy texture which clings to the tongue may impair the taste of others afterwards though.

Strong but tasty

I am becoming a bit of a fan of Evil Twin, they do some very nice beers and this is amongst one of the best i have tried. If you like strong ales i would certainly give it a go

Review byBeebo 27/03/2017

Slightly hazy amber orange pour with a smooth small but stable white head. Aroma of hops, pine, resin, tropical, fruit, liqueur like. Taste is the same, intensely hoppy, also very boozy as you expect from 13%, some warming alcohol burn, bit of a palate destroyer because of this but it is a nice beer. Medium-full body, relatively low carbonation, high bitterness, very warming finish.

My go to high ABV IPA. The hoppyness brilliantly hides the alcohol taste, the appearance is gloriously unffiltered and looks like thousands of prehistoric microorganisms preserved in amber. This is one amazing brew!
